Chapter 277: Praying Mantis

Crowds of people and cars, marching through the streets, honking horns, shouting, urging, crying, running, mingle.

The uneasiness in people's hearts will spread like a plague, and half of the city will be in a state of panic, the closer it is to the repair zone.

Fortunately, hundreds of brightly colored official vehicles were parked in various corners of the city center, loaded with loudspeakers, in conjunction with the city's public address system and hundreds of grassroots cadres, to maintain the orderly crowd to the underground evacuation facilities.

And the ubiquitous surveillance deters those with bad intentions and deters them from crossing the line - and the grassroots operators are also given greater operational authority than usual.

At this time, all the residents of the target area have been evacuated, and several gunships equipped with searchlights are hovering over the emergency repair area.

In the line of sight of the air command observation post, a steady stream of dense fog is emerging from the middle of Qianhua Road, which is quite "sticky and heavy", clinging to the ground, like gray moss spreading around, and the dense fog will gradually rise with the passage of time.

The highest point, which is the center of Qianhua Road, has risen to a height of twenty meters.

The strong winds from the helicopter gunships, which suppressed the altitude of the hovering helicopters, did not interfere with the spread of the dense fog in the slightest, and even the ultra-large wattage searchlight on the side of the helicopter could not illuminate the range of one meter into the dense fog.

The fog continues to spread, silently engulfing all obstacles,

Whether it is a high-rise building, a roadside vehicle, a drone flying into it, or a reconnaissance robot moving close to the ground, the fog realm will engulf it without discrimination, silently and quietly.

Any attempt to detect the fog in the outside world is like a mud cow entering the sea, never to be heard from again.

It's like... These fogs are not completely cut off from the present world, as they are in the human world.

Helicopters flying around in the air,

On the ground street near Qianhua Road, temporary modules have already been used to build combat affairs.

Bright searchlights were hung from high-rise buildings on both sides of the street, barbed wire, anti-tank barricades and other barricades were erected in the middle of the road, as well as a first line of defense with sandbags and machine guns.

Behind the first line of defense was an iron gate that spanned the street, flanked by denser machine-gun turrets, and behind the iron gate was a group of motorized infantry battalions ready to break through.

These motorized infantry battalions are composed of assault groups, reserve groups, cover groups, fire support groups, leveling obstacle groups, sabotage groups, command groups, entrenchment groups, escort groups, special groups, and air assault groups.

It is true that in the face of the modern formed team, the player's destructive power is obviously not comparable to the intensive artillery fire, but the treacherous means and life-saving skills that the player has are also not possessed by the formed team.

The task force is responsible for naturally breaking through the fog to gather clues, and when the situation deteriorates, charging with the Motorized Infantry Battalion for a surprise attack (or covering a retreat).

In fact, in normal times, the personal safety of Mobile Task Force players is naturally the top priority, and the death of every player is a major loss.

But now, behind them is Yin City.

In the rear of the assault camp are rocket launchers, flamethrowers, engineering detachments and nuclear, biological and chemical defense forces, artillery, mortars, anti-tank missile systems, and teams ready to go.

These teams provide cover for the assault faction when necessary, and they are also the third line of defense after the assault faction.

The formation of such a team, which surrounds Qianhua Road and sits in the middle of the streets, is confident that it will be repelled even if it is a modern, heavily armed beach-grabbing landing team that breaks through the fog.

The problem is that they are not necessarily dealing with "people".

The howl of a beast, which was so loud and unsounding that it did not resemble a human voice, rang out in the fog, and the operators at the front of the camp could clearly see through the light of the searchlights some kind of large, strangely shaped inhuman silhouette that seemed to swim through the fog.

The silhouette was approaching the edge of the fog, and it was impossible to see its exact face due to the fog, but its body structure could be discerned.

It was at least seven or eight meters tall, with a misshapen, large, tapered head extending backwards, and a narrow, slender (relatively) neck with extremely broad, transverse shoulders below it.

On either side of the shoulders of the silhouette, mantis-shaped forelimbs extend like the blades of a wind turbine, and the upper and lower sides of the forelimbs are covered with jagged sharp serrations.

The waist and abdomen of the silhouette are also suddenly tightened like a praying mantis, and its hind limbs are hidden in the dense fog, which is not real.

Behind the "praying mantis", more than a dozen soft and narrow tentacles are flying and levitating.

The huge figure standing on the edge of the dense fog seemed to be frozen, motionless, only the tentacles behind it were still windless, as if it had its own consciousness, flying wildly, projecting fear into the ranks at the front of the camp.

The fear of the unknown, the fear of death, is an instinct engraved in the essence of life.

Xing Hechou, the commander of the camp and one of the leaders of the Yin City Mobile Task Force, shouted to everyone not to act rashly.

Before the words fell, a tentacle behind the figure suddenly tensed and trembled, and it whipped towards a high-rise building engulfed by the fog realm with great care.

Boom –

The tall building, which was half engulfed in fog, seemed to have been hit by a heavy battering ram, its outer walls bursting, and countless glass, cement and masonry splashed like a rain of barricades in front of the camp.

Xing Hechou jumped up suddenly, and at some point raised a rectangular translucent white crystal shield like an iron tower in his hand.

I saw that the crystal shield instantly spread in the air, and in an instant, it directly turned into a huge crystal steep slope that stood obliquely on the ground, blocking those splashed cement masonry.

Bell,

The sound of cement masonry smashing against the shield suddenly sounded like a torrential rain, and suddenly disappeared.

Before Xing Hechou could react, the silhouette of the giant "praying mantis" fell backwards as if it had been suddenly attacked, and was dragged backwards by something, and two giant forelimbs comparable to wind turbines were dug deep into the ground, dragging two deep scars on the concrete pavement.

“...”

Xing Hechou frowned, looking at the thick fog that was surging and slowly calming down, and didn't say a word.

Huh-

The sound of the wind sounded in the thick fog, and several demon figures, which were larger and more burly and weird than the "praying mantis", quietly appeared at the edge of the fog realm, and were silently staring at the mortals on the street in front of them with a pair of red glowing eyes.

After a long time, the demons slowly retreated, and everyone heard the clear sound of chains tugging at their feet.
